Overview

In the traditional folktale of Sleeping Beauty, the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind’s unconscious. Now Anne Rice’s retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection of sexual desire. Here the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty’s complete and total enslavement to him. Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience.

  This is a good book for a bit of fantasy reading. It is not meant to be taken for reality and does not portray the master/slave relationship in a realistic, sane, or even legal way.

  This is a good beginner erotic book. A recognizable author that shocks you a bit, but still within the realm of light fetish.

  A tantalizing fantasy of a spoiled princess as she struggles to let go of her ego and cope with her unexpected desire to please. Not to be taken as a realistic view of consensual BDSM.

  Naughty version of the classic Sleeping Beauty tale. BDSM fantasy about a princess who is taught how to both control her desires and give into them.

  A beautifully written, engaging story that intertwines erotica with an interesting plot and complex characters. The book doesn’t provide a series of masturbatory fantasies, but it does offer readers ample food for thought about the nature of submission and the content of our fantasies.

  An adult story of Sleeping Beauty as she is awakened by her Prince and taken to a sort of slave boarding school to learn to be a better Queen.

  I absolutely love this book and the rest of the trilogy. I can say it would be a little much for some but if you allow yourself to read all of it you will be very pleased

  I got extremely wet reading this. In parts it was a little uncomfortable to read, but I still enjoyed it.

  I was totally disappointed and turned off by this book. It was written well, but was not sexually erotic to me at all...rather it focused on Sleeping Beauty’s life of being a slave to her prince and it was traumatic. After the first few chapters, I put the book down and had very bad dreams....she was constantly humiliated to tears and beaten. Not my idea of an enjoyable read.
